The reaction mixture was cooled to −5° C., and a solution of methyl magnesium bromide (3.0 M in tetrahydrofuran, 120 mL, 0.36 mmol) was added dropwise while maintaining the temperature between −10 to −5° C. When gas chromatography analysis of the reaction mixture showed about 2% of 5-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-N,N-dimethyl-3-isoxazolecarboxamide remaining, the reaction mixture was poured into a stirred solution of concentrated hydrochloric acid (80 mL) and water (320 mL) while maintaining the temperature between 10 to 30° C. The organic layer was separated, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (80 mL), and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting oil was crystallized from hexanes (100 mL), collected by filtration, washed with hexanes, and dried in a vacuum oven overnight at 23° C. to provide the title compound as a waxy, off-white solid (65 g), melting at 47-50° C.
